Own Disney World for a day


Disney's running an ingenious web-promo; you enter the name of a loved one and they automatically edit a fake video news story about Walt Disney World being given over to that person. I have to admit that I felt a little quickening of my pulse as I watched the video (and the automated editing is really good!). Then, of course, I immediately set about checking the profanity filter to see what kaka-doodie names I could get into the picture. "Shit pissfuck" didn't work, but "Lizard Jesuspants" did!

Doctorow's Kingdom? Disney turns its world over to unknown (Thanks, John and Benjamin!)
